DMD Systems Recovery

We’re excited to share big news: DMD Systems Recovery has acquired Lifespan Technology.

By bringing Lifespan into the DMD family, we’re expanding our Reuse First™ ITAD platform and strengthening our ability to help customers securely manage retired assets, recover value, extend the life of technology, and prove outcomes with greater confidence.

We’re proud to welcome the Lifespan team and excited for what we’ll build together.

Today we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice made possible the freedoms and opportunities we often take for granted.

At DMD Systems Recovery, Memorial Day is also a reminder of the values that matter most: responsibility, integrity, service, and stewardship.

We are grateful to those who served, those who continue to serve, and the families who carry that sacrifice every day.

AI is pushing data center growth faster than most infrastructure strategies were built to handle.

Join us on May 27 for a live, 45-minute conversation on what IT asset disposition really looks like in the context of AI scale.

Craig Kober and Michael Young will walk through:
• How legacy infrastructure decisions impact AI readiness and refresh timelines
• Where end-of-life controls can introduce operational and security risk
• How disciplined, auditable ITAD supports infrastructure continuity at scale

This session is built for infrastructure, data center, and IT operations leaders navigating accelerated growth.

The AI data center boom is putting growing pressure on infrastructure, power, and expansion planning.

This Forbes article highlights how quickly environments are scaling and the strain that growth is creating across the data center industry.

As refresh cycles accelerate, organizations are being forced to clear space faster, manage larger volumes of retired equipment, maintain chain of custody, and support expansion without disrupting operations.

If IT Asset Disposition is not part of your data center infrastructure strategy, delays, security risks, and operational bottlenecks become much harder to avoid.

That’s exactly what Craig Kober and Michael Young will be discussing during our upcoming virtual event: “IT Asset Disposition’s Role in AI Data Center Scale.”

AI’s Data Center Boom Is Running Into A Hard Power Constraint AI insiders are beginning to question whether the industry is building data centers for a future that may never fully arrive.

AI growth is putting pressure on data centers everywhere, but one area that still gets overlooked is what happens to the infrastructure being replaced.

Refresh cycles are moving faster. Equipment volumes are increasing. Security and compliance expectations aren’t getting any lighter.

IT asset disposition has become a much bigger operational conversation than simply “what happens at end of life.”

On May 27, DMD’s Craig Kober and Michael Young are hosting a live 45-minute discussion focused on the role ITAD plays in supporting AI data center scale, infrastructure transitions, and secure decommissioning.

We’ll cover:
• How legacy infrastructure can impact AI readiness
• What secure decommissioning looks like at scale
• Where organizations run into operational and compliance risk
• Why ITAD strategy matters during rapid expansion

AI is accelerating conversations around IT governance, visibility, and security risk.

A recent Forbes article highlighted “The Ghost Access Problem Nobody Talks About,” focused on how organizations lose visibility and control after employees leave. Read it here: https://ow.ly/MUaC50YZIu3

But access management is only part of the issue.

What happens to the physical devices after offboarding?

If laptops, phones, or storage devices leave your environment without certified data destruction or proper chain of custody, the risk doesn’t stop at deactivating permissions.

One unmanaged asset with recoverable corporate data can quickly become a much larger compliance and reputational issue.

As AI infrastructure, distributed workforces, and refresh cycles continue scaling, governed IT asset disposition is becoming a critical part of the IT governance conversation.

The Traditional IT Model Is Broken. Here’s What Replaces It At every company I’ve built IT for, the pattern is the same: IT is treated as a reactive function until the moment it becomes a crisis.
